Scott Frost's fate under new AD

I think most people are blowing this out of proportion. I think the fact that that lettermen’s club wants the AD search to be transparent means:

1.) They don’t want another Shawn Eichorst

2.) They want someone with ties to the program to ensure Frost’s tenure remains

This is/was a long term rebuild. Whether or not Frost can get it done is irrelevant. We can’t keep continuing this 4 year carousel of wiping out the football program. It is the definition of insanity. IMO we have to do our best to stay the course.

Moos put things in perspective by saying judge his hire by year 5. With COVID last year, the 2021 season to me is actually year 3. So I think by the end of the 2023 season if we are still here stuck in neutral then perhaps it’s time to change gears.

I could be all wrong, a new AD might just have preconceived notions to show Frost the door if this season is a failure. Anything less than a bowl invite is unforgivable.

depends on the new AD, he may. want. to clean house from day one.

i don't think Moos was techy enough or progressive enough to satisfy Green.

i think Frost brining his whole staff hurt him in the eyes of Green, maybe Moos too.

oh to be a mouse in the corner.

What do you have that indicates any of that?

 
Surely the fiscal side of this has to be in play. Massive new facilities, a couple mil """retirement""" for Moos, and a massive buyout if Frost is let go. Barring a complete collapse I think we have him for 2021 and 2022. 

 
This staff's future prospects rest entirely on demonstrable progress being made THIS YEAR (i.e. bowl game).  If we are unable to qualify for a bowl game for the 4th time in 4 years under this staff, this staff is officially on borrowed time. 

To continue to compensate a coach at $5 million annually for little to no ROI in terms of on-field football results is not a good investment.  

We need to get out to a 4-2 start this year to have any chance at a bowl.  IL / MSU / NW are all winnable games for a team with an experienced defense and a 4th year starter at QB.

Do they Just put Frost in these articles to get clicks from Nebraska fans? I just dont see a scenario where he gets fired in the next couple of years.

If my research is right, there is only 1 B1G coach in the last 20 years to go bowl-less 4 straight seasons and get a 5th season. That was Kevin Wilson. So Frost would be in some uncharted waters if we go 5-7 or worse this year, especially for a blue blood.

I like us Nebraska fans, but why does that site need clicks from us in a state with a population less than most big cities?

To answer your question, no.  To respond to your reasoning,  to insert Nebraska's horrid new HC's record as a likely reason to have him removed very likely is not to garner clicks from our great but tiny state (population-wise).  He's included in the hot seat for real reasons.  Unfortunately.  The sports writers are not wrong this time.  The article is speculation by definition.. but SF being there seems real enough.

So, you're not new to the fandom, you just have no idea that our fan base is more dedicated than those of larger-population states, and that it's a frequent tactic to include references to Nebraska to garner clicks regardless of the state of the program. 

 
I'm of the same thought processes that a member here posted recently pointing out that Frost stepped into something that was more of a deep mess than he expected, and thus the ongoing dismal performances against other struggling teams (bad teams).  I can't vilify him too much, knowing that.. but I do find myself really wondering if he's been handed something that is just out of his abilties.  Man I hope not.  I hope that he's clever and sees the big picture and has a plan.  

Doubts are setting in.  Let's see what happens this year.
